Sony’s new Professional Disc recording media is a 12cm (5 inch) single-sided, rewritable optical disc with a capacity of 23.3GB. By achieving a track pitch of 0.32um with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and by utilizing blue-laser technology, the disc media is able to attain high-density recording almost 5 times that of DVD using red-laser. High Transfer-rate Recording The specially designed, dust, shock, and X-ray proof cartridge is constructed to be compatible with the new dual optical head recording system, enabling a maximum transfer-rate of 144Mbps (using 2 optical heads and 72Mbps (using 1 optical head). The recording material in the disc has been specially designed to have the sensitivity to handle these high transfer-rates.This unique combination of extensive recording capacity and high transfer-rate capability positions the disc ideally for broadcast and professional applications. The media will record approximately 85 minutes of SD content in DVCAM™ mode at 25 Mbps, and 120 minutes of HD content at 18 Mbps. High Durability and Re-write Cycles The Professional Disc provides the same features as standard optical formats, such as spilt second random access and ENG/EFP ready durability, which is a result of the fact that the optical head never touches the media. With the PFD-23 Professional Disc media, you can expect a minimum of 1,000 read/write/erase cycles under specified operating conditions and can achieve up to 10,000 read/write/erase cycles based on Sony testing done under ideal conditions (73 degrees F, 50% relative humidity). And with an archival life of over 50 years, the Professional Disc is a highly durable, reliable option in recording media. Recording Times
